    Scared — Husband's Tinnitus

    I feel for you and your husband. To be sure it's noise that makes things worse, try excluding noise as much as possible for a day or two keeping other things the same. My tinnitus was for a long time better in the morning and got worse during the day and evening but this was not because of noise...

    Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for Tinnitus — Experiences (Dr. Wilden, etc.)

    I am having LLLT (not from Dr Wilden) and I am finding it very helpful. I had tinnitus for over a year before I started treatment so I would say you have time to take a few days to think about your options. I recently bought two different LLLT devices so that I can treat myself at home...

    Is My Tinnitus a Neck-Thing?

    I saw a Chinese doctor who told me that my tinnitus was caused by a problem with my neck. He manipulated my neck at each visit, it was very painful. Eventually found out the problem was TMJ. I have regular head massages - still have tinnitus but they help me relax.

    Please Help — Tinnitus Connected to Jaw Problems?

    I hope you found someone in Italy to help you. If not I suggest you find an orthodontist or a maxiofacial surgeon who specialises in TMJ problems. If you were not asked to open and close your mouth while you were being scanned then that would not show a problem with your jaw. I had similar...

I used to get slight relief from my tinnitus after chiropractic treatments, the chiropractor eventually persuaded me to see a TMJ orthodontist. My tinnitus is now much better than it was. If I don't move my jaw things improve even more so...

    Really Suicidal — I Don't Know What to Do

    @AGAG hang in there. You are not alone. Your story is similar to mine and I am much, much better day by day. I was desperate like you and planning to kill myself - I'm glad now I didn't. I was sure something was in my ears, ENT found nothing and the scan he did showed nothing. Two weeks later a...

    @Candy good plan. Orthodontist is in Wimpole St. Maxiofacial operated on me 8 weeks ago to put the discs ( menisci ) back where they should be and anchored them with little hooks so they won't slip out again. Still wearing the splint to take the pressure off the joint. The Orthodontist and the...

    New — Questions, Questions

    I didn't know I had a TMJ issue, all I knew was I had tinnitus, headaches, dizziness and something in my ears. I thought the tinnitus was the cause of the headaches and dizziness as I noticed it first. The first MRI scan done via ENT was normal. ENT Dr said he would see from the scan if my jaw...
